What A Life!!

Saturday evening we rented some movies, the one for us and the kids was the "Water Horse". It was on the schedule for the free summer movies but it played while we were in Louisiana. So we watched it Saturday night, it was really a good movie!! Anyway this was how Hannah was for the whole movie.....she LOVES her dogs!! I tell everyone Hannah is going to be one of those woman that wears no makeup, looks absolutely beautiful all the time, eats nothing but granola and fruit and always has her animals with her! Whatever makes her happy!!

Chef Jakob!

Between the spring, summer and fall months we BBQ (or "grill out" like everyone around here says) at 3 times a week. I LOVE to grill and Jakob has started to LOVE it also. He always helps me cook, which sometimes is a little crazy. But I try and be patient and teach he instead of "its quicker for momma to do it so watch me!!" He has never cut something up from start to finish before, well on Friday I let him do the sausage all by himself!! The knife was the dullest one that we have, which was really harder for him, but we made it work....if we would of had to stop and get a finger sewn back on it just would of ruined our dinner!! He did a great job and was so proud to tell Brian that he did the cutting all by himself.

Looking Cute!! (take 2)

Louisiana!!

It's funny to me that I am the furthest I have ever been from my family but we are the closest we have ever been!!
I needed to start this post with that sentence because when I go to see my family I really feel like we pick up right where we left off. Granted I talk to my momma and daddy everyday sometimes numerous times in one day. So I (almost) always know what is going on!!
Brian, myself the 3 kids and my grandmother left Thursday afternoon, we got back Tuesday night. In those few short days we consumed thousands upon thousands of artery clogging goodness and made some wonderful memories in between. Even though I joke about not wanting Brian to come in with us, this trip has become something that I look forward to doing with the kids by myself. It was nice to have him there. They did some major fishing!! EVERY morning Brian and the boys(including my brother Patrick) got up between 4:30 -5:00, yes A.M. To fish!! So they had a blast!!
We all got lots of time with Cody, which was wonderful!! He is growing like a little weed and is such a good baby!! I enjoy the talks that my momma and I have, sometimes that are about absolutely nothing. My daddy's face lights up something inside of me that I can't even explain, I just know that when he is there, I feel safe....funny how at 32 years old your parents still make everything FEEL BETTER!! When I'm with my 3 brothers I feel like a kid again. And I just love that feeling........we love VISITING Louisiana but after much soul searching on this last trip, I realized how much we love LIVING Georgia!!
